Looking back on my raving career, now retired of course, this is fantastic advice and something I would never have thought to articulate.
* Get a good sleep, ideally at about the same time as usual. If you normally sleep 11pm-7am then obviously a 4am-8am sleep is obviously going to have an effect on your mood. The closer you can get to your normal routine, the better. This might mean taking it pretty early, which doesn't necessarily make sense in a club setting.
* Take magnesium before/during the high to prevent gurning (if this is a problem). A sore jaw makes everything worse the next day.
* Take 5-HTP as soon as you wake up.
* Either sleep in the same house as the people you dropped with, or get back together as soon as possible in the morning. This is essential to processing the experience in a positive, social way.
* Don't have anything scheduled involving work or family for at least a couple of days afterwards, ideally a week.
